Ginger is so much more than the pinky-orange pile of \u201cstuff\u2019 that sits in the corner of every sushi roll you\u2019ve ever ordered. The root vegetable found in Asian-style cooking and a staple of detox diets actually adds a distinctive zing to whatever stir-fry, smoothie, or pastry confection you add it to.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let its brown, crooked appearance turn you away. Beyond its signature spice, the Asian root vegetable is a long-time herbal remedy for all sorts of tummy troubles\u2014including gas, motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting. (If Mom or Dad ever poured you a glass of ginger ale when you had a stomach ache, this should all start making sense.) It\u2019s all thanks to gingerol and shogaol, which are thought to help stimulate your body\u2019s flow of digestive juices, according to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center online<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0And since it\u2019s a natural, herbal remedy, doctors often prescribe it as a safe solution for nausea in pregnant women.<\/p>\n

Those gingerols are also the force behind ginger\u2019s incredible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These naturally occurring compounds have been found in dozens of clinical studies to reduce joint pain and swelling in those with chronic or rheumatoid arthritis, help with muscle pain and discomfort, and even keep Alzheimer\u2019s at bay. The cancer-fighting power of gingerols have been shown in animals to suppress tumor growth and stop the proliferation of cancer cells.<\/p>\n
